Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Venerable John Ogilvie, S. J: A Sketch of His Life
If there be any truth in the saying, and we suppose very few would care to gainsay it, that the blood of martyrs is the seed of the Church, may we not attribute, in God's providence, apart from other well-known natural causes, the marvellous growth of the Catholic Religion in Glasgow to the death of Father John Ogilvie. At the time of the Father's death there were only a handful of crushed Catholics, but now in our own day Catholics count as one in five in this vast emporium of western commerce.
